Good News

Thankyou everyone for your comments this week. I've had some good news and it seems everything is ok.

You know there is a problem when the obstetrician rings you on a Sunday night as soon as he gets your referral. Apparently my GP had looked at my 12 week ultrasound report and seen there was a low risk of Down's Syndrome and I was told everything was fine. What they didn't tell me was that there was a really high risk of a few other chromosome disorders, ones which have quite severe consequences. No one should have to be told this at 17 weeks and then be told it will take a few weeks to get the results. So I was booked in for an amniocentesis as soon as I could get there. Luckily I was then told there was a very quick test they could do and I would have fairly reliable results in a few days and those results were good.

So I am feeling so relieved and very drained, but I just had a good nights sleep and the world looks a little brighter again. I am still pissed off (to put it mildly) with my GP, but I don't want it to fester and I'm pretty sure he will never make that mistake again.

I really enjoyed just hibernating at home and doing some sewing, I think I might do a bit more of it.

oh bless!, so glad all is ok now. i remember those feelings of sheer panic with news like that during a pregnancy, i had it with my first and did have an amnio not an experience i would ever wish to repeat.

hopefully. now you can enjoy the rest of this pregnancy in peace, well as peacefully as having twins allows! : )

Glad to hear the news was good. We had a very similar experience with our bub but at 20 weeks and with downs risk. We ditched our GP straight away. What a relief you can get the quick results though...they were the longest 48 hours I've ever experienced though.

Kate, I read what you wrote earlier this week and really felt for you. I thought I couldn't comment because I'm no longer on blogger but it turns out your comments let me add my wordpress link and blog that way so its all good!!!

What a huge relief for you. Its so frustrating when you are trusting your GP and they forget something like that. Makes them even more human!

That Giraffe is so gorgeous! You are so clever and have such a wonderful eye for colour and style.

So so glad to hear you have had some good news! I had a CVS done with Muski's pregnancy due to similar issues and thankfully all turned out ok... so here's hoping the rest of your pregnancy is totally uneventful and your girls get a gorgeous bubba to love just like we have!

Thank goodness that everything is okay. How worried you must have been, and very drained emotionally too. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is worry free for you and take the time to try and relax, although with 2 healthy girls running around you might not be able to.

Glad you are feeling better. I pray that everything goes as smoothly as possible and you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. I love the bag. I had been eyeing that fabric online. should have gotten it!!

Phew! Thank goodness all is OK. I feel so relieved for you! Take care. And yes, kick that GP's butt. I've had a similar thing happen lately (no, I'm not pregnant, just some test results she chose not to share for who knows what reason!)
